The Iliad, a noble tale
Written about Greece's most renowned warrior
Though met with great conflict the soldier will prevail
Leaving a mighty legacy behind for its reader
Achilles, lover of Patroclus, left with great sorrow
Broken for what he had lost in the war
Though Wearing Achilles' armor,
his love was left lifeless on the floor
After an arrow to the heel
setting a mournful date
The Prince named Paris wouldn't kneel
Until the Warrior-Prince Achilles met his fate
